Sourcing applicator tip for standard (0.75 oz) Aquaseal tubes?

[spelt with a t]

I’m looking for an applicator tip or an adapter to fit luer lock tips onto a standard sized (0.75 oz) tube of Aquaseal. I can’t be the only one who’s tired of digging it out with a toothpick. I contacted McNett and they were no help except to say that the tube/neck is a “standard No.12” (but to let them know if I found anything!) I’ve looked at woodworking sites, McMasterCarr, medical supplies, hobby sites, and packaging manufacturers. Aquaseal has been around forever and it’s hard to believe there isn’t a readymade adapter I’m somehow overlooking.

Bumping this because I’m still looking. Anyone?

I seam seal a lot of packs and I’ve been looking (not that hard) for years for something like this too. Odd that it might not exist. Maybe a DIY solution?

Definitely a winter project.

Duh, right in front of my face.

3M marine sealant (known in coastal Alaska simply as “fifty two hundred”) small tubes come with a trimmable nozzle. Dunno if they are available separately (5200 is expensive) but it uses the same diameter/thread-pitch tube end as Aquaseal. Other sealants may use the same cap threads too.
